有大量证据表明，儿童性犯罪者从事疏导，以促进受害。据推测，这一步一步的梳理过程也被犯罪者使用，他们在网上访问未成年受害者;然而，很少有研究已经做了检查是否有独特的方面，影响传统的面对面的梳理过程的计算机为媒介的通信。本研究通过分析网络犯罪者与受害者交流时所使用的语言，探讨了网络环境中梳理过程的异同。对44名被定罪的网上罪犯的记录进行了分析，以评估网上梳理过程的拟议理论（O 'Connell，2003）。使用基于阶段的方法，计算机文本分析研究了在犯罪者-受害者互动的每个阶段使用的语言类型。这些记录也进行了内容分析，以检查面对面和在线罪犯所使用的特定技术的频率，例如奉承。结果显示，虽然犯罪者在整个梳理过程中使用的策略的一些证据存在于在线环境中，这些阶段的顺序和时间似乎是不同的。在线梳理中使用的策略的类型（和潜在的潜在模式）支持在线环境中梳理的修订模型的发展。(c)2015爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
There is a large body of evidence to suggest that child sex offenders engage in grooming to facilitate victimization. It has been speculated that this step-by-step grooming process is also used by offenders who access their underage victims online; however, little research has been done to examine whether there are unique aspects of computer-mediated communication that impact the traditional face-to-face grooming process. This study considered the similarities and differences in the grooming process in online environments by analyzing the language used by online offenders when communicating with their victims. The transcripts of 44 convicted online offenders were analyzed to assess a proposed theory of the online grooming process (O'Connell, 2003). Using a stage-based approach, computerized text analysis examined the types of language used in each stage of the offender-victim interaction. The transcripts also were content analyzed to examine the frequency of specific techniques known to be employed by both face-to-face and online offenders, such as flattery. Results reveal that while some evidence of the strategies used by offenders throughout the grooming process are present in online environments, the order and timing of these stages appear to be different. The types (and potential underlying pattern) of strategies used in online grooming support the development of a revised model for grooming in online environments. (c) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.
